This past June, we attended a rousing speech by former secretary of state Madeleine Albright as she discussed international diplomacy and the founding of the Madeleine Korbel Albright Institute for Global Affairs at her alma mater, Wellesley College. The inspirational Dr. Albright has a refreshing, unique take on world politics, and she tells it like it is with great candor and humor. She’ll be at the 92nd St. Y on December 13, sharing her insights in a special program moderated by Tom Oliphant and followed by a signing of her latest book, READY MY PINS: STORIES FROM A DIPLOMAT’S JEWEL BOX (Harper, September 2009). Dr. Albright will follow that up with a talk to high school groups only on December 14 at the Museum of Arts and Design, where she will show how she incorporated her brooch collection into her diplomatic methodology.
